John Jordan's French Armoured Cruisers is a promising, well-written study. Its treatment of doctrine adds more than ship specifications alone. Some of Jordan's analysis, especially its reliance on public statements, remains open to dispute. The book remains worth reading even where its interpretation leaves questions open.
